How is your book helping others?
Janet M. Harvey, the CEO of the innovative human development company inviteCHANGE, has trained global Fortune 500 leaders for nearly 30 years. She’s done so successfully using the innovative vehicle of Generative Change. As Harvey writes, she wants to “make your head hurt.” And indeed this book does just that as the Generative Change Journey to Generative Wholeness is now made available to a wider audience. It’s all about giving up your “expected identity” and harnessing the tension that results – so that “all of you” is brought to the fore. The book begins with “making it yours” (reflection as active process; fearless use of intuition); moves to Generative Wholeness (trust the unknown; “notice” to build resilience); pulling back for perspective; leadership dilemmas (be alert to autopilot mindset; be curious versus reactive).
And tension as a deliberate tool for solutions and judgment as one for inspiring wonder.
This important book is life- and business-changing.
